HBO host Bill Maher used a woke moment from the finale of a hit reality TV series on Friday to illustrate how the Democratic Party could lose future elections.
During his closing monologue from « Real Time with Bill Maher, » the host highlighted « Love Is Blind » season eight star Sara Carlton walking away from her wedding to co-star Ben Mezzenga because he didn’t have strong enough pro-Black Lives Matter views.
Referencing a question he posed last week on the show to Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. Maher wondered, « But how are the Democrats going to blow it this time? This is how: Posturing, purity tests, the politics of ‘I unfriend you if you’re not exactly with me 1000 percent,’ » he said, comparing liberals’ current political perspective to Carlton’s dating standards.

As Maher explained, the « Love Is Blind » season eight finale featured Carlton walking out on Mezzenga at the altar because they weren’t on the same « wavelength. » Elsewhere during the episode, Carlton told her relatives that Mezzenga’s views on BLM were a dealbreaker.
« I remember I asked him about Black Lives Matter, and I’m no expert, but when I asked him about it, he was like, ‘I guess I never really thought too much about it, » she said.
« And that’s when Sara realized she would rather die alone, » Maher quipped after playing a clip from the show.

He mentioned other areas where Mezzenga fell short on Carlton’s deeply held views. « To be fair to Sara, it wasn’t just Black Lives Matter. Ben also didn’t have much to say on the vaccine, » he said, adding a sarcastic tone. « And his position on trans was basically, ‘I don’t know I guess.’ Sarah’s sister is gay and when she told that to Ben, Ben said he had ‘no discomfort around that community at all.’ »
« Not good enough, Ben! » Maher shouted. « I think what you meant to say is, ‘F— yeah! I f—— love it!’ »
The host lectured his fellow liberals: « Let me tell you folks, if the standards on the left are going to be this high and politics is going to be this much of a c— block, we’re never going to win elections or have any more babies. »

« This inclination from certain liberals to always and immediately excommunicate instead of communicate is what makes them so unlikable, » Maher added.
